Matt Shelley's Reviews
Perfection - old style TV with modern excellence
Good premise well played with great chemistry by the lead actors
Does what many feel good series do - create a good role for an old TV favorite.
BUT the show is cancelled after just one beautiful season. This programme goes against all that is woke
- The heroes are straight white males
- The love interest is attractive and strong but she never behaves like an asshole
- The bumbling Cop who has lost interest in the job but is still quite good at the job is played by a black man who is often the butt of the joke - very Taboo
Perhaps this is why the series was cancelled?

Spoiler Alert -NOT
Very woke. Every white male is a scumbag as per usual. Diverse cast in senior positions is not unrealistic due to the over-correction we are witnessing in real life politics. This is usually more irritating in historical dramas which then do become less accurate.
AND ... then the 'not really a spoiler alert': now that the agency received narrative has switched from 'Terrorists are usually Islamist terrorists' to the 'threat' of domestic terrorism post Trump and Brexit (often backed by Russia), it is no surprise who the baddies turn out to be.
